In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty's internal funds were empty, and the national treasury could only run away with mice.
The soul-pierced prince Zhu Cixi just opened his eyes and heard his father Chongzhen roaring in Qianqing Palace:
"The imperial court has no money! The capital has no soldiers! How can I defend this country?!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at the poor nobles all over the court, at the wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, at the invading army sharpening their knives outside the city and the eyeing slaves outside the pass, and silently "borrowed" some money from his father's small treasury.
Open sea trade, set up workshops, collect salt and iron, and organize water transportation;
Empty the pay, train a new army, copy moths, and forge firearms!
At first, Chongzhen held up his sword to kill the prodigal prince.
When Li Zicheng came to the city, the prince pulled out 100,000 new troops, a million shi of military rations, and tens of millions of taels of silver. He pointed at the top of the capital city and said with a smile:
"Father, is the money I borrowed from you enough to save you?"
"If it's not enough-"
"Then let's use the wealth of the world's wealthy merchants and gentry to save the dying Ming Dynasty!"

The era of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties can be used to fill in the gaps in historical knowledge. I just finished reading it and it feels good. I feel that it is an unsystematic historical text about group portraits. It should be an online IQ article. After reading it, the opening chapter should introduce the party struggle game in the Southern Ming Dynasty and the main story line of the resistance to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. The tripartite tripartite of the Ming Dynasty, Dashun, and the Qing Dynasty.
In my impression, in this dynasty, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was besieged, the central government was on the verge of collapse, and the capital of Nanjing still existed, but the party struggle was fierce; Li Zicheng had just taken Shanxi, and his army was at the city, and the momentum was strong but the foundation was unstable; Dorgon led the Qing army to gather in Shanhaiguan, eyeing the Central Plains, and was ready to enter the customs to compete at any time...
